What is an apprenticeship?

Hi, future trailblazer! If you're ready to step into the world of opportunities and growth, let's talk about apprenticeships. Perhaps not the typical educational route that your teachers have been pushing, but they're a fantastic way to mix work and learning. Giving you a head start in your career journey.

It’s a mix of work and study

Picture this: four days a week, you're right in the middle of the action, doing hands-on work in the field you're excited about. Think of it as real-world training, where you learn by doing. But you’ll also have one day a week set aside for studying. This is where you'll dig into the theories and ideas that back up what you're experiencing at work. Whether you're learning at your workplace, college, university, or even online, it's a blend of practical and academics that will set you up for success.

Get paid while you grow

Here's the cool part – you won't just be learning; you'll be earning too. That's right, you'll get paid for the work you do. No worrying about student loans piling up. Apprenticeships are all about earning while you're learning, so you'll have money in your pocket as you gain skills and knowledge. It's like having the best of both worlds!

Your ticket to a qualification, for free!

As well as getting paid, the qualification you're working towards won't cost you a penny. The government and your employer are teaming up to foot the bill. So, while you're putting in the effort at work and in your studies, they're investing in your future.

Guided by professionals

Your employer isn't just giving you a job but opening doors to growth. They'll ensure your role aligns with what you're learning, so you're getting the best of both worlds – practical experience and classroom knowledge.

They'll hook you up with experienced consultants who'll show you the ropes, and they'll even make sure you have time off for your studies. It's like having a support system built right in.

Whether you're fresh out of school or ready to make a career pivot, consider the incredible journey that apprenticeships can offer. Your adventure starts here – get ready to learn, grow, and shine!
